Mansfield's Skate Plaza, that opened on December 2009, represents a relatively new concept (the first one having been built in the USA in 2005). A Skate Plaza is designed to recreate the urban street environment which many riders and skaters enjoy that uses materials that are commonly found in urban environments e.g. granite marble which is good for grinding and sliding. This one is seen from a flight of steps plus a footpath that descends from Windsor Road and links to Fisher Lane. This point on Windsor Road is also where The Timberland Trail and the Mansfield Trail cross. Other parts of Mansfield feature in the distance.
